As Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting coaxed the child, they were amused and became exceptionally loving.
“Baobao, what else do you like to eat? Grandpa and Grandma will buy it for you.”
Li Baobao shook her head. “I can’t eat anymore.” She touched her round and bloated belly. Seriously, it couldn’t take in any more food.
Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting laughed. This little guy was really cute.
The waiter walked over. “Sorry to interrupt you. Little kid, are you Li Baobao? Your mommy is waiting at the entrance to take you home. You should go look for her.’
Li Baobao jumped off the chair. “Grandpa, Grandma, Baobao has to go. Goodbye.” Li Baobao hitched her skirt and ran out quickly.
Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting stood inside and watched through the glass as Li Baobao left with two other children in the arms of a young woman wearing a baseball cap.
The two of them were disappointed.
“Hubby, for some strange reason, I can’t bear to part with this child.” Bai Dong looked upset.
Chu Zhenting consoled her. “I also think that this child has a special connection with us, alas, her mommy came looking for her.” His gaze was also filled with reluctance. He wondered if they were feeling that way because they were too lonely. He would love to have a few grandchildren by his side.
“Yichen is still unwilling to get married. I don’t know when we will have grandchildren.”
Chu Zhenting touched his wife’s hand to console her. “Our son is still strong, so there’s no hurry where babies are concerned. Let him take the first step.”
Bai Dong had no choice but to let things be.
Chu Zhenting looked at the time and stood up with a dignified gaze. “Looks like the other party is not sincere in reconciling. We’ll let Yichen handle this matter then.”
In the taxi, Li An’an lectured Li Baobao. “Why are you so disobedient? Didn’t the teacher say that children shouldn’t run around, let alone take things from strangers?”
Li Baobao squeezed her eyes shut and stretched out her hand.
Li An’an raised her hand and gave it a light smack.
“It doesn’t hurt.” Li Baobao retracted her hand, touched it, and blew on it nonchalantly.
Li An’an sighed. Why did she have such a mischievous child?
“Mommy, Baobao won’t run around in the future.” Li Baobao pouted. They were Grandpa and Grandma, Baobao weren’t with strangers. Li An’an kissed her face. “That’s a well-behaved baby.”
The taxi pulled to a stop at the shopping center.
“Mommy, are we going to the mall?”
“Yes, Mommy needs to buy a swimsuit”
Li An’an paid the bill and got out of the car. Since she was going to the island, she might need a swimsuit. She had to buy one, as well as a new suitcase. There might be other things that she needed too.
After entering the mall, Li An’an went to the counter and picked out a one-piece yellow swimsuit with frills.
She bought a new suitcase and was walking out with the children after paying the bill, when she received a call from Li Cheng.
“Li An’an, the CEO has asked me to send the children to the teachers.”
“There’s no need to. The children’s mommy doesn’t agree with it!”
On the other end, Li Cheng was speechless. “Do you know how many parents wish to send their kids to these teachers and are not able to?”
“I know, but their mommy has refused!”
Li Cheng had no choice but to hang up.
At noon, Li An’an went to the fast food restaurant on the second floor and ordered four servings of fast food.
They had just started eating.
Director Wang called, sounding rather anxious. “An’an, the jade pendant I placed in the drawer is gone. I searched for it all morning but couldn’t find it.”
“Could you have misplaced it?” Li An’an got anxious as well. Although she hadn’t worn it for a long time, it was a part of her past nevertheless.
“No, I even had a look at it last night. To avoid losing it, I kept it under lock and key. The key is still with me.”
“I’ll come over.”
“Don’t come over just yet. You mentioned you didn’t want anyone to know that you’re still alive. I’ll keep looking for it. There’s never been any thefts in our orphanage.” Director Wang hung up.
Li An’an wasn’t in the mood to eat. She suspected that her jade pendant had already fallen into Liu Luhua’s hands. Director Wang wasn’t willing to hand it to her, but the other people in the orphanage wouldn’t be too concerned. As long as they were paid a lot of money, someone would do the job for her..
